Abstract:
Microorganisms flourish in diverse habitats, including aquatic environments, where they play vital roles but can also pose health risks. Contaminated water—linked to nearly 88% of global illnesses—often harbors antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB), fuelled by pollution from human activities like livestock farming, industrial discharge, and wastewater treatment. Urban wastewater reflects community antibiotic use, with bacteria such as E. coli, Acinetobacter, etc showing multidrug resistance. The spread of resistance genes, aided by plasmids and biofilms, is worsened by co-contaminants like heavy metals and seasonal changes. Despite diagnostic advances, the ecological impact of ARB remains underexplored. Addressing this issue requires strict antibiotic regulation, improved wastewater management, and robust public health policies to protect water quality and limit the spread of resistance.
